as lyndon johnson had a vision of the great society. it wasn't anti-republican. it was his vision. john kennedy, the new frontier. i think the president from the way i was taking it was saying i think b this is the vision america needs to go in. but it wasn't for just four years. he said we're not talking four months, four years, or 400 years. >> that's exactly right. and you played the clip talking about how the social safety net allows us to take risks and not fear the failure. other countries don't have that. i spent a lot of time in india where there was such a fear of taking on new initiatives and being entrepreneurial because there wasn't that same safety net in place. that is the progressive vision. let's be real. paul ryan, here's a guy who supports privatizing social security, voucherizing medicare. so the president is not putting up a strawman argument. these are exactly the principles that republicans support. and also republicans have never been comfortable with social security and medicare. they use deficits and debt reduction as an excuse to chip away at it. but it is

like john kennedy's speech, like the inaugural speech of lyndon johnson. how would you sum this one up? >> well, i think it was a powerful, all-inclusive speech. it was saying in effect that in spite of our differences that we must continue to work together for the common good and that we must look out for each other. it was almost like the "we shall overcome" speech that listen don johnson delivered on march 15, 1965 and i think it was fitting to do it on martin luther king day, the same year that we observed a 50 anniversary of the march on washington and the "i have a dream speech." >> congressman lewis, you were one of the speakers on the national mall in 1963. in fact, i believe you're the last survivaling speaker from that remarkable moment in american history so think back to your younger self and visualize what it would have been like to stand on the mall and watch an african american president be grated on the west front of the capitol. could you have imagined that in 1963? >> well, i stood on the steps of the lincoln memorial almost 50 years ago,
